Cities of the Plain

Border Trilogy

Publisher's Summary

Two men marked by the boyhood adventures of All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing now stand together to confront a country changing beyond recognition. In the fall of 1952, John Grady Cole and Billy Parham are cowboys on a New Mexico ranch, encroached upon from the north by the military. On the southern horizon are the mountains of Mexico, where one of the men is drawn incessantly in this story of friendships and passion to a love as dangerous as it is inevitable.

What the Critics Say

"This haunting deeply felt novel completes one of the literary masterworks of the 1990s." (Daily Telegraph)"McCarthy makes the sweeping plains a miracle." (Scotsman)"Like the Western settings he captures to perfection, his work is both heart-wrenchingly beautiful and uncompromisingly brutal." (The Express)
